1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a switching power converter to boost an input voltage to the switching power converter to a higher output voltage during operation of the switching power converter, the switching power converter comprising;

    a switch to control current to an output node of the switching power converter; and

    a current sense resistor coupled to the output node of the switching power converter, wherein during operation of the switching power conductor current flows through the current sense resistor only when the switch is nonconductive.
